Zeh, Scherzer & Co.
This lovely three-piece antique porcelain tea serving set was produced by Zeh, Scherzer & Co. of Rehau, Bavaria, Germany. The set includes a covered teapot, covered sugar bowl and creamer, each decorated with delicate garlands of pink and blue flowers accented by green foliage.
The porcelain forms are especially attractive, with softly molded bodies, scalloped rims and graceful handles. Elaborate gold decoration borders the rims and lids, with additional gold accents along the handles and teapot spout. Together, the three pieces make an elegant display while remaining a recognizable traditional tea service.
The Z.S. & Co. Bavaria backstamp is associated with the company's earlier production. The underside of the teapot also bears a handwritten decorator's signature.
Condition
Wonderful antique condition. No chips, cracks or crazing are apparent. There is age-related wear and loss to portions of the gold decoration, particularly along rims and other frequently handled areas, consistent with the age of the set.
